I bet one abutment is more mobile than the other. In that case, I think you're S.O.O.L!!!

Not always s.o.o.l. A technique I use besides sandblasting and slots is to cut off the entire wing on the more mobile tooth and make it into a cantelever. ( light or no occlusion on the pontic) I have some in 15 yrs like this.. try it u have nothing to loose

1. SANDBLAST the enamel! Rinse it and DRY for 10 seconds.
2. Apply Simplicity as usual to enamel and light-cure
3. Apply another coat of Sim 2, dry, but DO NOT light-cure
4. Apply a coat of Sim 2 to metal, dry and light-cure
5. Apply another coat of Sim 2 to metal, dry but DO NOT light-cure
6. Add self-cure or dual-cure cement and seat.

I have a maryland bridge delivery this morning. In my tool kit, I have Panavia, Nexxus and Variolink II.

I had planned on Panavia. Given my options, is that the best choice? Are there any technique modifications required for the Simplicity + Panavia combo?[/b]

Let's say you had a whole closet of possible products to choose from, which would you choose as your first choice??

Also, any modifications with Surpass instead of Simplicity? Still need the extra layer on each side of the self/dual cure agent you choose for a cement?_________________Dennis M Murphy, DDS
